I have been to a few games out to Michigan State and all I have absorbed from this experience is that this thingy that starts with a Z comes on the ice and appears to be sweeping it, at "half time" (I am not sure it is called halftime). I also have retained there is a blue line in the middle of the ice where the 50 yard line would be No clue as to its' meaning. I have also been invited to the "Joe" where the Red Wings play, I am familiar with Hockeytown.
I have learned one thing and I feel here is the place to spill it!

1. The thing you're talking about that starts with a z is a Zamboni, and it may be the most awesome invention of all time.

2. Hockey doesn't have halftime, as there are 3 periods. The breaks in between are called intermissions.

3. The line in the middle of the ice is red, not blue. It doesn't really mean anything anymore, if I'm not mistaken, but it's there to mark the middle of the ice. There are 2 blue lines, on opposite sides of the red line, that divide the ice into each team's 'zones', and the 'neutral zone' in the middle.

4. If this Fingold deal falls through, I hope Murstein and his group (which includes Cuban and Marino) gets the team.
